让我们来看看今天一个非常重要的函数：dir()

中文描述：当没有参数时，返回当前范围内的变量、方法和定义类型列表；当带有参数时，返回参数的属性和方法列表。如果参数包含方法__dir__()这种方法将被调用。如果参数不包括__dir__()，该方法将限制参数信息的收集。

object参数： 对象、变量、类型。

版本:这个函数在python的每个版本中都有，但是每个版本中显示的属性细节是不同的。使用时注意差异。

英文说明：

dir([object])

Withoutarguments,returnthelistofnamesinthecurrentlocalscope.Withanargument,attempttoreturnalistof
validattributesforthatobject.

'unpack','unpack_from']
>>>classShape(object):

>>>s=Shape()
>>>dir(s)
